THIS one has come around again a bit swiftly for my tastes. The “game of the season” could have waited a bit. You can stick your Tottenham Hotspur best 11 and ye “champions elect” Manchester United up your arseholes. You can push champions Chelsea up there with them...

DAN Morgan contributed an excellent piece about Philippe Coutinho to The Anfield Wrap website recently and I could completely understand the sentiment, writes SIMON ALKIN. It seems to me to be one shared by the majority of the fanbase. Broadly speaking (and this of...

AFTER a tedious and drawn-out transfer saga, Philippe Coutinho rejoined his Liverpool teammates in full training at Melwood on Thursday. The Brazilian appeared in high spirits, with Jürgen Klopp confirming he had a very positive chat with the player to clear the air....

WITH all the major goings on this summer, Emre Can’s contract entering its final year has gone a little bit under the radar — until now. To some supporters it is inexplicable that Liverpool have allowed a player of 23 years old with bags of potential to run into...

IN the week of Gerard Houllier’s 70th birthday, it would have been delinquent of me not to indulge in the nostalgia of my coming of age as a Liverpool supporter. As an impressionable 14-year-old with a yearning for identity and realisation of values, the education...

SO, how are we today? I went to bed at 10.55pm, about five hours after we pretty much knew that nothing was going to happen but only five minutes before the unbearable “slamming shut” of the window, the point that Jim White’s transfer knowledge would bring...

THIS summer’s transfer window – at home but maybe even more so in Europe – was bonkers. For the first time in a while, Reds fans weren’t quite so rude about Sky Sports’ Jim White or so sniffy about the whole affair as Liverpool participated in the madness right to the...
